If you right click their portrait or name in chat there should be a list and I believe report is at the bottom of the list.

I angered the clerk in a clothing shop today. She asked me what size I was and I said actual, because I am not to scale. I like vending machines 'cause snacks are better when they fall. If I buy a candy bar at a store, oftentimes, I will drop it... so that it achieves its maximum flavor potential. --Mitch Hedberg

Yes, you can target them and right click their portrait. Then report and select Botting from the list.

I've been very disappointed in their reactions though. A camp was full of bots last night. At least 7-8. I reported every last one of them. This morning. Same camp... 5 of those botters are there joined by another 4-5.

Very, VERY disappointed. It would take all of 5 minutes for someone to clear them out. What happened to all the tough talk at launch about banning botters?

Starvault's reponse to criticism related to having a handful of players as the official "test" team for a supposed MMO: "We've just have another 10ish folk kind enough to voulenteer added tot the test team" (SIC) This explains much about the state of the game :-)

i'd get video of this and post it on the official forums

That's because it doesn't take just 5 minutes to investigate every botting report to ensure that every single one of those players are bots. I'd imagine a fair bit of actual players get caught up in the reporting crossfire and get accidentally reported for being bots. It may also be a bot tactic to report as many other random players for botting as possible to further convolute the process (pure speculation there, but if I were a bot, this seems like something I'd try to encode into my botting process to protect myself, the same way they rapidly send all those in game mails.)

Or would you argue it's better for Anet to accidentially ban a few innocent players in the name of immediately eliminating all bots?

Once this kind of indiscriminant banning begins, you'd have players trolling other players by reporting them for botting. All kinds of bad precedents.

Some are obvious, yes. Others not so much, especially in GW2 where players naturally congregate and run along together all the time. Many bots even seem to have guild tags. There's no doubt in my mind that in the cluster zerg of DEs (and frequently repeated event areas are spots many bots camp), real players have accidentally been reported as bots at one time or another.
